The community dietetic service in NHS Lanarkshire are moving to digital ways of working for referral and appointment management, and patient records. To facilitate this, regular meetings are held between the project lead and eHealth and a task and finish group has been established. Five objectives have been identified within the group’s workplan: paperless referral vetting, electronic patient records, use of clinical portal worklists for patient related communications / messages, electronic receipt of referrals, improved flow of acute dietitian to community dietitian transfers.
